portal

[spiral stream]

by taking from BR

[silk tundra]

I think you have to have BF Pro to run a Battle Royale server

[spiral stream]

then adding a script

https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=25/45/dio1.png you should have this

@peak fjord

then i suppose u max out all zone size to not change etc

"BF Pro is required to create and host experiences with more than 64 players."

[uncut moth]

Did battlefield6 channel disapeared ?

[spiral stream]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1397231130654281861

[peak fjord]

yeah i have pro! but i created a fort lyndon map but it won't start unless 50 players join. So now i'm searching on how i can start the map with just me in it

[spiral stream]

think u would need either a bot filler script

or just a script to bypass it

[peak fjord]

i don't need bots

[spiral stream]

but the tab its on is greyed out

[peak fjord]

but i'm gonna try to make a custom portal server instead of official

nope not possible

[spiral stream]

@peak fjord actually

[silk tundra]

I'm actually going to cry. 50 minutes and still 0 players.

[spiral stream]

if you go to create then default

[silk tundra]

How does one get a server up to actual consistent popularity?

[spiral stream]

you have club house and tech center POI

[peak fjord]

yeah i know but i need the full map

[spiral stream]

yea same

i js remember that ^^

[lyric aurora]

Well right now we only get recommended xp farms

[peak fjord]

its not possible you need to create a large community outside battlefield and when its filled up half it gets on the top of the server browser

[stark wing]

Can someone jump in general 3 and come test my map out quick?

[fast grove]

Dont see anyone slide jumping and hipfiring.

[silk tundra]

I actually don't see how hipfiring is sweaty

Slide jumping needs to stop

[lyric aurora]

I have to ask, have you played BF4 ?

[odd tartan]

I remember Metro being slide jumpy everywhere

[silk tundra]

Wait I just looked across the road on New Sobek and there's still a lot of detail in the environment. I feel like they're holding back map area and New Sobek in particular could easily be twice as big.

[lyric aurora]

because there were people reviving and supplying ammo left and right - providing suppressive fire. Teamplay was king.
Bf6 is at a much worse state - maybe because cod sucks balls currently and all cod-kill-streak-kids are here.

metro was chaos pure, a chaos by design - not by failure

that's a difference imo

[odd tartan]

i was talking slide jumping to avoid hit reg, it's been like that for a long time.

[lyric aurora]

that's what I feel on every map actually

[odd tartan]

in the editor you can move the out of bounds very easily

firestorm back to full size is great

[lyric aurora]

yeah it was a thing in close quarters (which was rare in BF4) - but feels like 75% of BF6 ...

[odd tartan]

they are very COD and BC2 sized maps for sure

[lyric aurora]

yeah, BF got Vince'd

[odd tartan]

thats why we need portal to be more rewarding so people can populate the big maps they are making

[lyric aurora]

that's so on point

and that's why I was fighting for a refund

[odd tartan]

I always let BF fix itself at launch. I really enjoyed 2042 after it was cleaned up.

[lyric aurora]

yeah, every BF had a very rough launch. That was never my issue. I was actually surprised by BF6's launch

but then they went backwards

[odd tartan]

and shrinkflation is in everything now, food you pay more and get less of the thing you buy same with games. We are prob being too nostalgic hoping for 3 and 4 size content.

[lyric aurora]

I mean we had BF3 and BF4 Premium

[odd tartan]

the dlcs were huge

[lyric aurora]

You must not play good servers then, just look up bf4 movement on youtube

brother - they were massive. incomparable!

[lyric aurora]

Still do

[lyric aurora]

you get revived and resupplied ?

[lyric aurora]

You never heard of rouzou in bf4?

[lyric aurora]

Yeah

I just find it hilarious that people think bf4 wasnt a sweaty game

[lyric aurora]

in my 20 - 30 hrs in BF6 ... I got revived twice by a player

ammo? zero

[lyric aurora]

Dont hold to skip bro

[lyric aurora]

that was a glitch ?

[lyric aurora]

Its still movement lol

[lyric aurora]

Why would I ?

[obsidian mica]

New Battlefield 6 Conquest Server..

[lyric aurora]

still glitch

not per design - by failure.

[lyric aurora]

Bf4 is still faster then 6

with better map design

Bf6 have great medics bro

Infinite defib

the mechanics don't matter if the playerbase is rotten my guy. 2 revives in 20 - 30 hrs it's not what I consider "bf6 has great medics" bro

[lyric aurora]

Bro i dont believe you, i can have low deaths because i wait for revive

yeaah I kind of don't care if you believe me or not. I'm waiting too, bleeding to death each time

[warped heath]

another day without bots/progression in portal?

[stark wing]

can someone help me test my map? It has

yt: AtonomyHD

[echo plinth]

How did you do?

I don't get it xd

[odd tartan]

you ask your bank to refund the money due to the product not being as advertised.

[vague bay]

reasons for refund described in https://steamcommunity.com/app/2807960/discussions/0/599667160179023513

so its EU Law and german law and steam does not care and did not answer so paypal is caring about users and give money back

[light root]

Exactly bc for steam its also a lost to give refunds

[vague bay]

isn't it possible to give the licence to someone else for steam?

[cedar marten]

I've got a bunch of aura points for anyone that helps me get my HxC Conquest server off the ground!

Z3V2B

[thorn elk]

only thing that im waiting rn is the revert of bots backfill xp in portal... ifv bug? they will fix (dunno why not disabled), the drone and hammer? it will be fixed (dunno why hammer isnt disabled)... but bots backfill? noone knows and i'm done with this crappy matchmaking

[dense holly]

So, does the portal server close if the host hasn't been in it for 24 hours since the last person left?

Im out of town. My server was full for the entire time and now it's gone? I mean I can relaunch but, it's effectively gone. Even though it was full 6 hours ago

[chilly marlin]

Isn't it considered as chargeback and steam can block your account ? Because I been asking steam for 5 days now and they still don't want to refund me even with EU laws quotes and proofs about EA bait n switch. Loosing patience and I want to ask Paypal but afraid of seeing my account gone

[real rock]

Dice really decided to have 0 communication huh

[cobalt tinsel]

A “seeding bots” system where you can enable bots to play with on limited XP, but when players join, you get full XP from them would be a big help to Portal. There’s a system like this in casual breakthrough. If they extended this to portal it would work really well.

No one wants to join Portal servers from empty, even if it’s full XP. This would help a lot. Also, daily challenges like “play a match on portal” would be really helpful too

I wish there was a place to give feedback for portal here

[odd tartan]

you would think when they created this Portal specific section they would actually talk to us in here. never seen one dev or EA person in here

[viscid frigate]

If bug reports on EA Forums gets no dev interaction, why would they say things here like "We're working on improving this and know that it's not up to expectations and are aware of the issue".

[wheat meadow]

nice EA 11 new mission 5 in redsec

[inland ridge]

There have been a couple portal maps that creators have used part of the BR map for that look amazing. Jackfrags showed a couple on his latest. Imo if Dice would highlight some of the work creators are doing it would help drive portal engagement outside of farms.

[wheat meadow]

fix drone bug first lul

[inland ridge]

@wheat meadow Agreed. I've only seen it a couple times myself but that is for sure a little broken

[wheat meadow]

so many monkey

I hope they optimize the challenge. I don't really want to play BR.

[solid apex]

You know what else grinds my gears? They ruined the Slams and AT mines! I cant cluster them together anymore! They gotta be like 10ft apart! How and i suppose to kill tanks now?!

[wheat meadow]

true

[solid apex]

I can't even stick the AT mines to my jeep!

[odd tartan]

if you spin you can place mines close together

[wheat meadow]

and c4 4>3

[solid apex]

This was never a problem in other Battlefield games why did they take this away?!

[wheat meadow]

and and where is suppot C4 LUL

[cursive sleet]

Hi,

I Created a BF6 OG Conquest Server

Locked weapons | all maps | 60mins

No Bots | 100% XP & other Progression

EU

Code: Y64FZ

For people who enjoy classic BF Conquest! 😊

Thanks

[solid apex]

Damn COD streamers ruining battlefield

There was nothing wrong with the old mechanics we be using them for over a decade!!

[wheat meadow]

in beta they say c4 too op have 4 c4 to kill tank so broken LUL

[solid apex]

They listen to COD streamers complaints over the people who have been playing BF for years

[dawn plinth]

4 C4 is too op = non-bf players crying a river

[solid apex]

Back in my day 2 was enough to destroy tank

[odd tartan]

jeep stuff is the entire point of BF!

[dawn plinth]

They nerfed the drone C4 after they marketed as a mechanic...

[dawn plinth]

nah, vouzou/rouzou are glitches

zouzou is fine tho

[wheat meadow]

They went with a CoD YouTuber with just 15.9K subs, and completely ignored a Battlefield veteran who’s been playing since BF3 and has 216K subscribers. Like… what were they thinking?

[dawn plinth]

Vince being Vince...

[wheat meadow]

The main thing is, that CoD YouTuber is known for having a bad reputation in the Taiwanese gaming community.

oh they invite 100% apex player too LUL and that player say sniper is shit beacause cant one shot one kill

[dawn plinth]

I don't know why they get rid of the old 3d spot. I understand removing it from BF1/V cuz they are games for the WW theme, but modern FPS can have that, since isn't a sci-fi thing, it already exists

[dawn plinth]

I don't get why they nerfed snipers, BF4 you could one shot from close range

Sometimes it does 90~99 damage, but depends on the enemy perks

At least I can fix this on Portal, but still...

I was hoping that Mini Scout would be able to do that

since it assembles with the CS5 sniper playstyle

[wheat meadow]

just like COD Weak players just whine about snipers being OP, yet they refuse to put in the work to get better.

[dawn plinth]

I don't like the sweet spot mechanic, it should never existed

BF4 for mid/long/extreme range you would need to have a good skill to HS

and now... you just need range finder lmao

[dawn plinth]

64 damage for a sniper is really awful, and you can collateral hit and still doesn't kill in the chest...

but it's okay, cuz a SMG can be a laser beam and shotguns can one shot 0~15m-ish
LMAO

[wheat meadow]

sniper kill weak player = OP M4 or scw-10= prefact LUL

[dawn plinth]

SMG with 33 damage is a joke

[wheat meadow]

MP7 16 lul

[solid apex]

That's what really made me an angry engineer moment WTF were they thinking?! Battlefield is not COD it has completely different mechanics that make it fun and chaotic the formula has always been "do whatever you want" not limit the abilities of what the player can do!

[wheat meadow]

how abaut FN57 only 20dmg LUL

[dawn plinth]

bro, you can kill someone with a pistol more fast than an AR

[wheat meadow]

glock 18 25dmg FN57 20DMG what a joke

[dawn plinth]

new gen are bitching too much, that's why they get rid with this formula. Or should I call this "legacy feature"?

[solid apex]

Now they got skill based matchmaking which is completely broken because if you have crossplay turned on you get a lobby of PC users and some of them have hackers. And if crossplay is turned off you're stuck waiting for a match that will never start.

[dense holly]

Also, I've noticed far more complaining about class locked but, I prefer that. My only gripe is class kicked grenades

[wheat meadow]

m250 mg 25 dmg with 6.8×51 L110 25DMG with 5.56

[dawn plinth]

I prefer the class locked weapons, much more balanced

I don't like the support with a SMG/AR, they must use LMGs or the shared weapons (DMRs, Shotguns or Carbines)

[solid apex]

I just hope the devs listen to the people who actually played this game and restore some of the mechanics from the beta. Like being able to stack land mines or shoot while using a parachute!

[dawn plinth]

You can say that BF4 SMG is also OP, but they are only available to Engineers, which is really fine

[dense holly]

Yeah, my hardcore class locked server has been very popular, it's packed almost 24/7

I wonder if a regular server would be as popular

[wheat meadow]

or really True damage balance of ammunition caliber

9MM > 5.7 👍

[dawn plinth]

thisssssssssssssss
sometimes NVO doesn't do 33 damage in close range, while SCW-10 does...

this shit doesn't make any sense to me

[solid apex]

That's a good one too 👍

[wheat meadow]

nonono good one 1000% is fix fxxking super drone fly

[dawn plinth]

put the ability to switch teams...

[solid apex]

Yea I can't even fly my drone with C4 on it even though it was in the damn commercial!

[wheat meadow]

you can 100% fly c4 but power will lose fast

[solid apex]

And as an engineer I can't even put the M2 SLAM on my EOD rover

[solid apex]

Thats what I mean they nerfed it to be useless

[wheat meadow]

i 80% sure C4 in BF6 got dmg nerf low dmg and they take 4c4 to 3 c4 what the fk

[fluid violet]

Still no return of service from Dice?

[thorn elk]

sniper needs a second weapon like bc2,bf 3,4 smg,hint.

[icy spade]

And to no one’s surprise

Still no bots

[analog hatch]

Yeah we need an update about portal this has been way to long without any news at all, no progress reports or updates

[icy spade]

Honestly it’s annoying af

Been going back and forth on 2042 portal with bots lol

[gentle fog]

could anyone make the game mode obliteration from battlefield 4?

[exotic schooner]

I’m this person but I refuse to buy their cod skins

Even with their changes to “dial it down” they promised grounded skins not Easter eggs

[analog hatch]

I think in my personal opinion that EA should go 100% ham with the skins, like CoD did, they are too bland to justify spending $30 for and still aren't grounded enough for people who want the grounded experience

But give everyone the ability to toggle all skins off and make characters default, so people who want skins can choose to see them and people who don't choose not to

[exotic schooner]

This would be a good idea. However I like the Ranger skin that they have and a few of the skins they released in the battlepass are really good and grounded. There is plenty of skins they could make with special force units and stuff that people would love to have. The bright colors and stuff just ruin the immersion for me. I get peoples points saying the brighter the enemy are the easier it is for them to shoot them but I don’t want to shoot dragons and Nicki Minaj I want to have a semi realistic game. I think they should have put battle royale on 2042 and continued all the crazy cod stuff on that one. Kind of how cod has 1 game a year let them do the same 1 grounded battlefield next year a more arcade battlefield

I just think Fortnite, cod, and delta force have the crazy skins going if battlefield did the same there’s nothing to separate them from the other games

[analog hatch]

I agree that some skins look cool maybe they could have categories you could toggle on and off when it comes to which skins show, it would reinforce the whole "play it your way" message they keep forgetting they said

And if i had it my way there would be no skins at all but we all know thats not happening, and the skins are going to get much much worse

[uncut jetty]

It is a portal bug, it deleted some code. Update is pending with the fix. You can try this one: Redsec free to play version:
z3u5y

[exotic schooner]

I hope not lol because the ones they have that are unavailable right now are looking pretty bad. Outside of the whole bright colors etc the skins themselves just look like trash even for cod standards

2042 skins looked pretty horrible also I think they need to replace their entire skin team lol

[analog hatch]

I guarantee it's going to get worse they'll do it slowly so less people will complain and by the time they get to CoD skins people wont care

[exotic schooner]

They kind of jumped straight to it on the first month so I can see season 2 starting out with the moving rainbow skins and Scooby doo themed ufos

[ornate forge]

Jugg in Wave 5 died using a zipline, no new one spawns and the round doesn't end

The challeng to "Deal Damage to Aircraft using AA Launcher" must be broken

[shut trout]

I'll just say, without revealing more, that there is already a glitch to get 100% XP to weapon attachments by killing only bots, but we definitely won't be revealing it. We don't want the scumbags from Dice to patch a useful thing again that should have existed from the start like they promised.

Since people aren't raising the alarm as a whole it means that arrangement suits many, so those who are fine with it can keep getting 13% to weapon attachments for killing one bot while we get 100%, which translates into thousands we will never support the pay2win they're trying to introduce.

The truth is people should feel cheated by EA and be able to get 100% progression to attachments from bots just as it was promised. Right now only we get it and if people don't start calling out the lies from Dice / EA and oppose it publicly, it will stay that way. Just a reminder:

so no "unofficial" news or rumors about portal backfill bots? im already tired with matchmaking...

I don't think we'll see bots backfill again in those verified modes, only in custom

they gave ppl breakthrough with bots where they can farm like crazy, also low populated regions gets bots in standard matchmaking and we cannot use them just to fill the normal server...

and there are still afk farms for levels... make sense

Latency issues are always present; it's not a problem exclusive to Battlefield. It happens in all online games, and it's something I'm not going to deal with. Bring back the bots! That casual gameplay mode isn't enough. There are players who just want to relax and stay away from toxic players and latency problems.

[real rock]

Dice is dumb of making casual breakthrough 8 humans on each side when closed weapons playlists are less than that usually 😂

Just did a breakthrough in closed weapons 2 humans on each side and it was chill. Even bad fun 1:1s with one of the players on the enemy team

[meager gulch]

the rat that made videos that led to everyone making bot farms.

his entire channel is about exploiting cod and bf

35 years old wearing flat brim caps

[eternal basalt]

The farm servers were never the problem. Battlefield Studios promising they would have the server capacity for everyone to have a running server, then coming nowhere close to enough was the problem. And the way he dresses has nothing to do with him as a person. Grow up.

[meager gulch]

they were a problem. there was far more ppl using his botfarm codes than ppl making normal verified experiences with bots. together it overwhelmed their server capacity.

[eternal basalt]

So clearly, more people were interested in playing in those servers. Let people play the way the want to play. Maybe they should have fixed the real problem(terrible challenges) and there wouldn't have been such a need for farm servers.

[jade quarry]

that doesn't have the default Conquest layouts. it's just plain FFA or TDM maps.

[meager gulch]

im not going to argue with a bot farm defender.

[eternal basalt]

Then don't because you're wrong. That's fine. If people wanna farm bots, let them farm bots. Not up to you to determine how people are allowed to enjoy the game they paid for.

[meager gulch]

blackops7 out soon. the rat will go back to exploiting that game instead

Server: Sane Defaults (TM) | Conquest | Slow-paced | Like BF4 Hardcore

Using a tweaked rule-set designed to make the game feel slower, more thoughtful and grounded. BF4 Hardcore rules apply. Only medics can revive. Applied measures to nerf some exploits and unfair gameplay.
Every map in the rotation twice.

I'm experimenting with a formula designed to make the experience feel slower, more thoughtful and tactical without making the player literally noticeably slower

As a part of it, I'm reducing the amount of players, disabling sliding, slightly reducing movement speed (to about BF3/4 levels), disabling squad revive and health regen, and most importantly the defibs. Want your squad back up and operational? You need a dedicated medic, and the medic needs to drag you away from under fire instead of spamming revives at 10 players per second.

Overall, should be a lot less hectic and more predictable, and allow for actual strategies

[silk tundra]

I wonder, is it possible to make the knife not equippable but still allow to perform takedowns?

To limit the amount of people that will pull out a knife just to run faster

[analog hatch]

Running with a knife out makes you faster doesn't even make sense, just because you unequipped your weapon doesn't mean the weight of the weapon and ammo and armor disappears, why would it make you run faster? why do we need this at all

[silk tundra]

My thoughts exactly. If anything, if you have a rifle on you, you'll run the fastest with that rifle in your hands, because otherwise it'll be flopping around on a sling and slowing you down

[analog hatch]

Yeah exactly, this isn't a battlefield mechanic

[silk tundra]

I mean, it isn't but it also is. There's a precedent for a universally loved Battlefield that's more cartoony in its presentation, but I still want the experience in my particular server to make slightly more sense

For a lot of people here BF3 or BF4 was their first, but I still remember how much fun Bad Company 2 was even though it was completely different from its predecessors.

[analog hatch]

My best weapon in bf3 was the knife and i miss it alot, also battlelog....

[silk tundra]

BF3 takedowns were the best, although a takedown on a prone player from the right was done better in BF4

[lunar iris]

I need knife with bipod....

[silk tundra]

I never actually got to a level high enough to get one. I was a lot busier in 2014, it would seem

[analog hatch]

I hated takedowns in BF4, something about being able to counter made it awful for me

[silk tundra]

You could only counter the frontal one which seemed fair to me

[meager gulch]

im not surprised

[analog hatch]

No, if i stab you, you die. lol,
So many sneak attempts ended with someone turning around alot of the time

[silk tundra]

To me, you are only entitled to a fancy knife kill if you manage to sneak up on me.

[ebon bolt]

When are we gonna get portal 2?

[lunar iris]

Are they bring back bot with xp/progression to portal yet?

[lyric aurora]

More people dont want those server, they are plastered on the recommended screen cause those servers are being spammed out. They aren’t even worth doing anymore cause of the xp reducing and no challenges count but i assume people dont realize.

[lyric aurora]

Hope not

[dry vector]

you can still do challenges for unlocks just not for exp

but that doesn't matter either cuz there are dedicated solo exp or afk servers

so they just disabled bots to piss off people who actually want to play and chill with them and just unlock naturally and have been dead silent since because they actually don't care

casual mode is a load of bs since it is literally just breakthrough initiation renamed

and if they can lower bot exp in there then why can't they just do it on portal

[lyric aurora]

I think just remove all bots and go back to how bf4 was. Renting servers and dedicated official servers

[dry vector]

they can't/wont even do the simplest things so no way they'll do that

[lyric aurora]

Roadmap says portal update in December. We’ll see what they do

[dry vector]

yes cuz it should take to december to simply lower bot exp...

[silk tundra]

I'd like the update to official presets a bit sooner so I can turn off the Mini Scout

[dry vector]

it's like fixing the challenges, they act like it's too hard to go into the code or whatever and simply change a number from like 30 to 3

" oh we don't have 5 min to change a number, that change is coming in a future update"

[silk tundra]

Dust, you don't realise that in software development, especially on the level of 5 massive studios working together, any change has to be reviewed by a change committee where you need to defend it and prove that it's necessary, then go through rounds of testing and QA before being pushed to production, and pushing something to production in a project as massive as an AAA game is no small feat

[dry vector]

they pushed those challenges to live before checking so I don't think that point stands

some of them you do something different than what it says while others the number is so ridiculous that playing normally it will never be achieved

they were either ai or idiot generated

simple ones like using a gun are whatever, cool, those will come naturally but some of the most ridiculous ones like the repair in a single game are insane

the adrenaline one is still bugged even if everyone knows how to do it and wasn't there one that said use like 15 different weapon types in a game... they approved that and it was completely wrong

there were never that many weapon types and that's not even what you had to do to complete the challenge

and all of this lead to the mess that is happening in portal where all these challenges lobbies exist for specific challenges

so they disabled bots... which changes nothing

[lyric aurora]

Portal was gonna get filled with bot lobbys either way, 2042 dealt with it

[silk tundra]

15 different weapon types in a game is mental

I mean I could theoretically do it as assault, on one of the 2000 ticket servers, that's a non-issue.
The issue is that they probably used an LLM to generate those and then no-one sanity-checked the results.

[dry vector]

I know that all sounded like me just being angry and I hate the game or something but it's the opposite, I actually want to love it and have like 40 hours or so but I quit in the last week or so after s1 and redsec because it felt like they gave up on the base game already, so for now it's a neg review and a not recommend

there's just so much simple stuff they have to fix

like there is absolutely no excuse for not just disabling the sledgehammer to stop the drone exploit

till they push a fix... but apparently disabling bots was more important and leaving portal to rot

[royal fern]

I mean, try to run with a heavy object (like a backpack) in your hands, and then try again with the object on your back so your hands are free. You are still carrying the weight but I guarantee that you can run faster when you can move your arms properly. The biomechanics when you can move your arms properly makes a huge difference

[rancid juniper]

is there a map where i can pratice jets? i found a few but they just spawn me in the middle of the map with bots

[ocean wagon]

[odd tartan]

zz1pz conquest with bots friendly fire is on

Firestorm

[analog hatch]

I see your point, but i haven't trained like my life depended on it while carrying a backpack in my hands

[silk tundra]

We're also talking a backpack vs. an awkwardly shaped hunk of sharp-edged metal on a sling

That can put a bullet through your buttocks if handled improperly

I'd rather hold onto it, all things considered

[royal fern]

I mean, no one in an active combat zone where you can have enemy contact at any moment would run around with their gun on their sling obviously, but from a strictly running standpoint it's definitely a lot easier with your hands free, regardless if you still have to awkwardly carry that weight in a sling on your back 🤷

[lyric aurora]

This game is NOT a realistic/milsim game. Its literally a arcade shooter and always has been

[silk tundra]

The discussion has been about turning off this mechanic for a portal server, not about it belonging in the game in general

[ashen thunder]

well since yesterday you cant do the glitch anymore. atleast not the known one under the bridge. you die if you take the portal to narnia

[thorn elk]

this one is funny

oh... i cannot paste screenshots here, nvm 😄

[gritty tulip]

Hi guys, I'm new here, I was just wondering, is there a way to duplicate or clone an already existing experience and modify it? I can't find the option (maybe it just doesn't exist though...?)

[silk tundra]

I've been idling in my server waiting for people and trying to get a game going, someone popped in looking for bots, I helped them complete the suppress challenge

The only productive thing I've done today :D

[odd tartan]

more productive than me

[thorn elk]

yeah, im sitting alone on my server... maybe this will be the day that ppl will join and eu will get a server with all maps and normal settings (not a HC fan)... probably not.

[silk tundra]

Apparently if you edit the game files on PC to turn off crossplay, and then attempt matchmaking, you'll be placed in a lobby with bots and no-one else

There's an article up on Eurogamer about it

[fast grove]

Intresting..

[fast grove]

Didnt work for me. looks like they disabled it.

[verbal summit]

does anyone have a code for a map with helicopters and bots? im trying to practice without just wasting a helicopter over and over in a real match

[warped panther]

hi guys. someone know how to complete mission in BR Head hunter?

[odd tartan]

y55ku firestorm conquest with bots and friendly fire

[sullen arrow]

Have they added XP and progression back to portal with bots. If you gain nothing there is no point to portal.

The portal lobbies are very hard to fill. Why I say that. To me unless they put some incentive into playing portal user creations there is no point whatsoever.

[slate venture]

Fun is the only incentive

[silver remnant]

On Portal > Community experiences, search for the experience you want to copy. In the address bar copy the hex bit that looks like e9ae6550-a6b4-11f0-a08e-a4d08ad17b22
In the portal builder tool, edit one of your experiences and replace the hex bit after id= with the one you want to copy.
Top right click more info, then bottom right click clone.
Now you have your own copy of the experience.

[fast grove]

Not portal but if you go to bot gamemodes they give some xp. you do have to fight 8 players though.

[sullen arrow]

Yeah I know about that hex but if they don't put any kind of progression in user created experiences portal is going to die quickly. Fun will only last so long. An incentive to play is the reason to go back.

[dry vector]

custom experiences never really had progression even in 2042 but verified did, right now bots are disabled if you try to make anything verified

you'd think with the challenge changes they would turn bots back on, just reduce their exp like they did in breakthrough initiation (casual)

it's kind of ridiculous since everyone is complaining about bots in regular multiplayer lobbies when it's not peak hours

so why can't the people that actually want them have them in portal?

[silver remnant]

Before bots were removed entirely, there was around a week there they were set to only 10% xp

Even that would be better as a permanent solution vs no bots in portal

[dry vector]

yes that's fine, we just want something, not nothing

[silver remnant]

Just tighten up the portal builder so exploitive experiences can't be made that give mastery. Start by making BFPortalOfficial experiences for each mode, with and without vehicles, and hardcore, and don't allow any customisation while that gets sorted out behind the scenes

[dry vector]

for verified, I understand no exp for custom experiences since people can just make a death pit

just make farm and afk banned words for portal servers also, I know people will come up with other names but still, act on reports because right now they aren't, afk servers still up

[sullen arrow]

Yes. My previous comments were referring to verified experiences. They need to do something. Put progression back and lower xp. That's all. Going nuclear and removing everything killed portal.

Idiotic decision that's going to bite them. Even old skool bf creators are saying they need to do something about portal now. Give people a reason to play portal. Going nuclear was not the answer.

[silver remnant]

It's not about giving people a reason to play portal, it's about giving a significant group of people a reason to play the game...

To be honest even if they pot bots back into portal, it's going to remain dead until they get a proper server browser in place. Why can't we bookmark experiences...

Dead in the sense that randoms aren't going to jump into proper portal matches instead of official servers

And if EA are going to insist on the awful tiled UI, why can't we customise it. Remove the bloat and put tiles for our favourite portal experiences so we can just click and play

[uncut jetty]

Big update with bug fixes and many improvements is live in a few hours

Had no juggernaut issue anymore

[sullen arrow]

Yes Zatick I agree with everything you say but how they went nuclear and removed bot backfill and no progression and XP gone. There is no incentive. Playing for fun will not last long. I'm not saying give full progression and full XP with bot backfill but do something. Don't go nuclear. Put limited progression and XP back in. Have a solution not a bandaid.

[dry vector]

are you refering the challenge update or something else?

[sullen arrow]

But what do I know. Lol. It will not be long until you see the numbers drop for portal experiences if it's kept the same way.

[silver remnant]

Agreed, and lets be honest, all of the portal makes kd, accolades etc. meaningless, they already are, especially given that people for free reign on them in portal for 2 weeks

[uncut jetty]

@dry vector I am refering to my custom mode

[hoary galleon]

hey how do i open up a ticket to speak to one of the admins ?

[silver remnant]

Pretty sure the numbers in portal are already a tiny fraction of what they were. Steam reviews are now mixed, and steam player count is back down to where it was before redsec release and declining

[sullen arrow]

Yes the numbers are extremely low Zatick and they will only get worse.

Unless they revert back and make changes. Going nuclear bit them. But it's Ea. They will only care when they have to.

[lunar iris]

Still no portal update...

[silver remnant]

Kind of sad, I don't think I've seen a single comment about the 100 player portal servers that the BF Pro users get. There's just so much potential to do neat things in portal

And previous BF games, they pretty much ran on player run servers. That's basically all I played, Jump into a busy server near cap, and just play, no disbanding the entire lobby after each match and then filling half the server with bots...

[sullen arrow]

Yes portal has great potential. It's a very good tool but by removing bot backfill which was there before on verified experiences killed it. Then they went nuclear and removed all progression and XP which was not the answer. It was a bandaid.

But they'll find out. I sit back and watch what happens.

[proper furnace]

as long as they bring Casual Mode I’m happy

For missions

Maybe there will be a verified "best of Portal creativity maps" playlist - metro, Spind, golmund...
...Someday.....

[real rock]

They changed the challenges, I’m now with a bunch completed but the next is still locked

Get your f shit together

[sullen arrow]

Ill believe this when I see it. I've said over and over again that the map design is too cramped. The existing maps just need boundaries expanded. The minute you turn with a plane out of bounds. A lot of areas you get the out of boundary warning for no reason. It's forced.

[real rock]

And now I can’t fucking host my verified experiences with bot

[sullen arrow]

Dev posted they know theirs a problem with the current map design and will work on changes.

Sirland posted on x he's aware of the map design issues.

Whomever made the decision to make everything so cramped and funneled in needs to get axed. Stupid decision. If you want cramped lanes with no room to breathe cod is there. Hell I like both cod and bf. Both games ive loved for different reasons but keep it that way.

[verbal summit]

I am having trouble with the helicopter tow missile, I can shoot it pretty good in 3rd person but in first person my helicopter moving side to side messes with the missile even though I’m in freelook and it zigzags fast as hell making it impossible to hit stuff. I also noticed my missiles are landing on the ground right infront of vehicles very often when I shoot in 1st person, like its going down too fast or something does anyone have some tips

[verbal summit]

it especially annoys me when theres a sweet little spot I could post up as a recon but its 2ft out of bounds…

[lyric aurora]

any news if DICE is bringing back the removed portal features ?

[sullen arrow]

For instance on peak. When you run around a corner of the mountain you get a out of bounds warning because the map tries to funnel you into a lane. It's because of how the map design was created. Anytime you run into a out of bounds warning all it means is they want to funnel you into engagement. Hence why it's cramped map level design done on purpose.

You watch skoom. When bo7 drops and the numbers crash they will try to cater to the old skool bf players because that's where the user base has always been. Minute bo7 drops the cod players who are on this now and cod streamers will jump ship. I've said over and over again the cod coddling their doing will bite them if they're not careful.

[fiery coral]

what are the removed features?
(dice doesnt work on portal)

[silk tundra]

Trying to kick-start a chill hardcore server with rules tweaked to make the game slower, more interesting and more enjoyable for old farts like myself. Probably EU region judging by the ping.
Probably be a while until people start joining properly, but I would like some initial momentum.
Experience code z1far

[uncut jetty]

For example they removed camera functions, so you can't make custom spectator view

[fluid violet]

How can it be #1 if it's new? ponders

[silk tundra]

#1 if sorted by release date? :D

How long do you think until someone makes Prop Hunt in Portal?

And if so, how long until there's a SeaNanners video up of him playing Prop Hunt in BF6

Well, at least someone came to play whack-a-mole hide'n'seek with me on my otherwise empty server, so that was fun

Oh actually, hide'n'seek would be a fun Portal mode. Each round, a seeker is randomly selected, they are moved into a different team, and they move a little faster than the hiders. If a seeker does a knife takedown on the hider, the hider is moved to the seeker team and can proceed to sell out their friends.

[odd tartan]

I really enjoy 1v1 on a server like that.

imagine if they allowed us to create our own chgallanges for our creations

[silk tundra]

With the rewards being?

[odd tartan]

logo or player card image.

[silk tundra]

It'll get abused 0.000001 seconds after they roll it out

[odd tartan]

not a free for all, only those given permission from dice.

everything will get abused though

[silk tundra]

Then it'll be complained about here and on Reddit in even less of a time

[odd tartan]

bots and challenges ruined BF!!!! ha!

[silk tundra]

FPS players are a bunch of toddlers

[odd tartan]

mummy mummy they won't play the game I want them to...

[shell sedge]

hello, i would like to kindly ask if there is any plan to put ROSCH sniper weapon into bf6 + i would like to kindly ask if there is any plan to get Sundance suit from 2042 into game. Please dont hate me for my questions 🙂

[real rock]

I think dice is playing around with bot behaviour. I saw a bot laid down camping to protect the rush objective. I thought it was a player when it killed me but it was a bot 😂

[fluid violet]

1 kill - 500 levels of xp.

[lunar iris]

How to make portal more potential:
Add more contents, add new tool such as terrain editor, Local server option for verified mode ❌
Remove xp/progression from pve with bot due to some people complain it. ✅

[real rock]

Sounds about ~right~ dice

[silk tundra]

Not because some people complained, but because nobody could run a server because the whole server capacity was taken up by XP farms

[stable locust]

i mean, its kind of normal for MP focused games, if memory doesnt fail me the same happen with previous titles pre bf2042, they have spikes when new updates with maps or weapons come.

[silk tundra]

A handful of lazy casuals ruined the game for everyone

[real rock]

Huh?

[silk tundra]

Steam reviews are still mostly positive though

[real rock]

Pretty sure the casuals were not farming xp

Just the pvp kids

[silk tundra]

Lazy casuals. The lazy part is important.

[real rock]

Because casuals don’t need everything unlock to be competitive

[shell sedge]

hey guys, where in portal can i find NIGHTBIRD TEST ??

[silk tundra]

DICE removed the ability to spawn the new helicopter

[shell sedge]

wut? :/

[silk tundra]

There's Littlebird in the game that someone figured out how to spawn in Portal, and they uploaded a server with it

[meager gulch]

all that an add all assets from bf1/v/4 and allow custom textures.

[stable locust]

thats not weird, sometimes people stop playing games they like cause they get burned out or already unlocked what they wanted, is what happen to me in battlefront 2 back in 2020 or now in MHWILDS

[shell sedge]

so can i test it or no?

[lunar iris]

This!

[silk tundra]

No

[shell sedge]

aw damm ... so no more bird 🙁

[silk tundra]

It wasn't supposed to be accessible and they disabled it

[shell sedge]

in some point, its great i will be not dissapointed as i am with helis now 😄

[silk tundra]

Helicopters are so lame to fly sadly

Maybe the Littlebird will be more fun

[odd tartan]

little birdy legs

[meager gulch]

i miss the spector view from bfv. uber spectator mode for watching clan matches (and cheaters ofc)

[silk tundra]

But all the air vehicles feel far too like they're on rails

[shell sedge]

helicopters are great.. but in in bf6 ... piloting has to be fixed alot.. they don't behave like helicopters in some point at all

dead circle isnt possible with this controling at all

[silk tundra]

Yeah. MKB feels terrible, regular controller doesn't let you yaw without decreasing the throttle, I have yet to try it with an RC radio

[shell sedge]

yeah i can agree.. its just crap for now, hope they will fix it

[fresh spire]

but actually taxi heli is too weak is easily to destroy them and most of players are using uh to do kamikaze meh

[shell sedge]

thats true + there are some rockets you cant see, you cant hear,so they can kill you fast really

what i hate the most,, as soon as you pinch down heli turn into fast and furious helicopter so you cant even see enemies under you 😄

second what they have to fix is "snipers" .. not sure why there is snipers in this game at all.. cuz everyone with scoope can kill people from over 200m and they dont need sniper.. like AK200 can kill enemies from 150m without problem... thats not seems to be right

[fresh spire]

well theres for sure some problem with it, small/medium/long range on weapons, for me its looking like smg have no problem with killing on medium range

[silk tundra]

That's how guns work, yes

[shell sedge]

Yea its crap

They have to fix it for sure

[fresh spire]

they have alot stuff to fix, probably they released bf6 earlier bcs gta6 or some other shiet

[fluid violet]

More likely the date was changed when Black Ops posted their release date and Battlefield wanted their money before it was too late. 🙂

[fresh spire]

it was also reason i think

[fluid violet]

At the end of the day, it's still a new game. All content is subject to change and in time, it will get balanced, fixed and we'll be like - PORTAL IS AMAZING - but not today.

[shell sedge]

Can be

[shell sedge]

I can agree, hope it doesnt take another year

[fresh spire]

portal would be amazing if they should give us files to host on OWN machines/vps etc

[fluid violet]

Fix one bug, two more appear. It is what it is. We can only hope the changes are good and the bugs are few.

[fluid violet]

Portal was great, when we could get a server going, but sadly, malcontents abused a good thing.

All they needed to really do....

1. Any server that isn't used for 1h - persistent or not - is removed.
2. Drop XP to bare minimum.

Everything else was fine. Despite the calls saying assignments were hard etc, people were making headway, because of the bots allowing things to get done. All these other changes they are doing, is just knee jerk reactions to the few who where level 150 in first week etc because of the farms.

[fresh spire]

but if we get server files to host on own machines then we also could change tickrate, add mods to game, like in csgo or even like in cs1.6 (not like that in cs2 rn)

[fluid violet]

It's too early for those sorts of changes. We can't be trusted. We've proven we can't be trusted. So like any parent, they took it away from us and told us to play nice.

[minor dome]

Drop xp to bare minimum ? You can then remove portal from the game cause it wont interest a lot of people at all
Any server that is inactive, enter sleep mode, which get it removed from the server pool limit, so no use to remove them, especially persistent one, which would mean this option become useless

[fluid violet]

Using Portal for XP grind, is bad.

Portal was supposed to bring community's together, to make new content and to have fun.

[fresh spire]

what i heard from old bfs players, it was just to make solid players on same servers, everytime u just meet same ppl like yesterday and ure making some m8 relation rn its not possible with "matchmaking"

and in cs go it was working also, meeting some old players and playing with them

[fluid violet]

Unfortunatly, some don't care that they spoil a good thing, long as they got what they wanted.

[silk tundra]

"Screw you, got mine"

[real rock]

Given the amount of data dice collects easier to ban people that are farming xp than reducing progression in portal

Or avoid custom scripts that would make a portal server a farm

[silk tundra]

Better yet - monitor how fast players gain XP in portal against bots. If it's too fast, impose a hard cap on how much they can get per day, set it to half of what an average person gets in an evening of playing normally

[real rock]

Also, maybe don’t make stuff be so grindy and people will feel less inclined to farm maybe? 😂

[fluid violet]

Banning people for playing their game - honestly, despite not being the way THEY wanted you to play, is wrong. If they change code and or hack etc, fair enough, but it's not the players fault, that portal was that way.

If anything, we could start pointing fingers at LABS people who didn't pick up on the issues during testing phases, but do we know if they did or didn't and did DICE just ignore the feedback?

[real rock]

Yeaps, they have the tools and data to something like that, but they went nuclear for some reason

[real rock]

I agree. Just tried to make an extreme example of how they could target act instead of kaboombooming the situation 😂

[verbal summit]

What sadist that has never touched a video game in their life thought up of the MR missile?

[fluid violet]

I'm sure there are other reasons they changed or jumped into the deep end. The server situation for example was problematic. We'll just have to be patient and hope for the best.

[fluid violet]

This is portal chat, not #battlefield-6 - Not sure we can help you with a MR missile issue here.

[verbal summit]

That wasn’t even on my channel list thanks for that

[fluid violet]

Most welcome. Have a great day.

[halcyon oxide]

How do you define the "average person"?

[silk knot]

anyone willing to share a conquest script with me? im making a map but not really in the mood to learn how to script

[fluid violet]

Not everyone is god's gift to gaming. Some have a harder time playing this game. People are disabled. Old. etc. The "Average Person" is probably more than a casual gamer, but not someone who sits there 18h a day, farming one map and it's bots. Though I think some automated their shooting / account to be online 24/7, but I can't state that as fact.

[halcyon oxide]

All I wanted to know, just a definition lmao

Still unfair, because it was advertised with full progression.

[fluid violet]

Geee google's definition is about age. lol

[real rock]

Average depends on data set

[fluid violet]

Indeed

[real rock]

In this case they get all data from all players and check the average of xp gained in a match / per minute

[fluid violet]

What is an average gamer?
Recent studies show that the majority of gamers are between 25/34 years old as well as 35 to 44 years old.

Guess my 75yr old ass, mucks up the data for someone.

[real rock]

There will always be outliers, like the person that will earn 0xp per minute, and the one that gains 1 trillion

You usually ignore these outliers

[fluid violet]

I'm ignored? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - I'm here - waves Notice me - 😄

[real rock]

😂

In the end is math, but seems like dice prefers to do meth

[halcyon oxide]

Why can't they just do it how they did it in 2042?!

[real rock]

Just look at the original challenges we had. Clearly they did not think about it, just thrown random numbers and called it a day

[fluid violet]

Times change

[real rock]

Technology is lost

[ornate forge]

that was already patched. instant death now

[fluid violet]

A lot more stuff can be patched server side now, which is amazing.

[dawn plinth]

For me, RCON was the peak of hosting a server, it worked really well

[halcyon oxide]

True. Bf2042 is set in the future, so the features for portal haven't been discovered yet

[sly pawn]

never tried 2042 portal. Ads for it said you could pit any version against any version soldier. was that built in, as in a selection screen, or did you need to use scripting?

[timber olive]

how can i do "laser designate target that sustain damage" challenge? what i suppose to do there?

[sly pawn]

it'd be nice if players getting ridiculous XP could be marked by EA as an HVT or given a large head.

[keen brook]

Hello new to the portal rule editor. Am having a bad time trying to figure out how to use the rule editor to make a tdm experience for me and a couple buddy's. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can make a tdm experience

[odd tartan]

Use the laser designator and aim at a vehicle until a red square apears on it. Then hope someone shoots a rocket at it. Big conquest maps are the easiest really.

[pine bane]

Has anyone messed with the CombatArea and delt with the borders not being where you placed them in Godot. I've placed them where they need to be but it seems that there's a rather big buffer zone from that collision wall.

[thorn elk]

what is bes tmap to fill server? from your experience

[cursive moon]

But seriously, what’s ur favorite weapon?

[old karma]

Kord-97 is the best assault weapon so far & for SMG would be P90

[gritty sierra]

[gritty sierra]

Kord 97 and the new sniper

[hexed pier]

Why p90

[worn marsh]

anyone else having issues connecting to servers via portal? each time I go to load up into a server I get booted back to the mainmenu

[exotic galleon]

Is there no way to select bots when creating a mode now? I don't care about the XP, I just want to practice flying jets with bots as targets.

Trying to find a 24/7 Firestorm Conquest portal server with bots enabled

[pine bane]

I'm just trying to figure out why object aren't spawning in

nvm just fixed it

[cunning depot]

Yes I was just coming here to complain about this also. They made it so you can't fill portal servers with bots anymore to "prevent XP farming"

I hope someone from community team or a dev reads this because what a dumb move. Disabling backfill to prevent XP farming, yet casual breakthrough exists and the closed weapons playlist are 95% bots? Can just go bot farm there easily. Very dumb decision.

[exotic galleon]

you are a godsend

[stiff halo]

man i want a red bull dog tag so bad

but i don't have a gamestop

[exotic galleon]

If you edit the portal to Firestorm will it mess up the bot setting?

[prime crag]

Nope if u edit anything in current portal (those portal survival with bots) then there will be no bots

[exotic galleon]

damn

[prime crag]

And bots take heli/jet so fast, u have to take heli/jet before they got it

[sweet elk]

Any idea if we're gonna see the classic Battlelog tool like we had from previous BF Games so we can track our stats outside of the game?

[old karma]

wait what? since when?

[inner pulsar]

I’ve been wanting to recreate the objective-based gameplay from Enemy Territory in Portal. Not the whole game, just that multi-stage objective system that was so much fun back in the day.
Sequential objectives where one team attacks, the other defends. Like you’d have to escort a tank to a blown bridge, then an engineer has to repair the bridge to get the tank across, then you breach the enemy compound and either steal docs or blow something up (this was a map in ET). I could also add some kind of progression system similar to ET’s XP unlocks - maybe timed equipment unlocks as you level up during the match (medics get their equipment faster, etc).

Main thing I want to know: would enough people actually play this to make it worth the development time? I don’t want to spend weeks building it if it’s just going to be me and my friends messing around.

[ivory basalt]

Which portal is good for completing the AA launcher damage challenge. Because it is not working in regular conquest

[sweet elk]

you don't remember Battlelog? https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/

[leaden mountain]

The incin airburst challenge is bugged for support currently

[old karma]

Yes I remember but there was no Battlelog for portal

Battlelog was long gone after BF4

[sweet elk]

I know

[carmine talon]

it is not bugged

needs direct hits

[tall silo]

DICE, bringing back the full PVE, yesterday I was killed by a shotgun blast to the leg, I had already emptied half a magazine, every shot without fail to the chest, I will not buy another Battlefield pre-release, I have bought every Battlefield since 3, I feel ripped off.

[hushed garden]

26 days in, hardcore vehicle spawns are still broken.
Iberian Offensive - NATO IFV doesn't spawn
Operation Firestorm - NATO Attack heli doesn't spawn
New Sobek City - NATO Both helis don't spawn
Mirak Valley - NATO Transport heli doesn't spawn
Manhattan Bridge - NATO Attack heli doesn't spawn
Siege of Cairo - NATO IFV doesn't spawn
Liberation Peak - PAX Attack helicopter doesn't spawn

[carmine talon]

OK let us summit up, so you emptied the half of a mag to the chest? And killed by shotgun blast to the leg? Dude That is almost realistic as it gets, fantastic job by devs. All of your rounds were stopped by the body armor , but guess what!, your leg was not protected and there are very important veins in the leg that actually can be very fatal getting shot in the leg.

[amber sandal]

Has anyone thought about making a portal mode that Is like COD's gunfight? 2v2 small small map, one life, best of 7(?), random loadout each round? This was my brother and i's favorite game mode in COD and would love to get that in BF

[cunning depot]

https://tracker.gg/bf6 -- it exists just not battlelog

[sturdy lotus]

is there a bf5 pleayers here?

[timid estuary]

don't worry weekly missions broken as well says all modes but ain't true 😂

[hushed garden]

I'm like 100% certain at this point the challenges were created by AI. There is absolutely no way a human would screw up so many of them to tie them to incorrect game modes, classes, and weapons. If it was one or even a few I'd say yeah ok they made a mistake but it seems like half of them are just incorrect

[timid estuary]

wouldn't surprise me tbh everyone works with AI now days

[stiff halo]

You can tell the difference with AI generated slop and human made

[timid estuary]

for now you can gets better each month when they update them. It's a shame that many people losing there jobs due to AI though.

[stiff halo]

I'm a musician and i need to proove my audience my work is not AI its so frustrating

[timid estuary]

Sadly it is.Someone that used AI to make music just signed a contact as well.

[stiff halo]

Well thats their problem, if you make an AI song as a producer how can you still be trusted

But the problem is not the AI its what its doing, people are getting brainwashed and don't know whats real anymore

[timid estuary]

It's the people behind AI one company after the other wants to be bigger. That's our future now i guess lol

[stiff halo]

Yeah

my IG feed is full of Sora vids

[timid estuary]

felt that lol

[real rock]

Internet Will be a wasteland pretty soon

Since AI generates content and AI uses content to “learn”

It’s a vicious cycle

Speaking of AI, BRING BACK MY FULL PROGRESSION ON BOTS DICE

Did a casual breakthrough with a new weapon, 0 ranks on it. Did well overall, we won, I play the objective, get some good kills but barely got 1 rank because of this BS 10% xp on bots

There are so many weapons in the game, why the hell do dice care if we can progress them fast

[silk tundra]

Engagement numbers

[real rock]

Yeah, but it’s not like if I play with bots I have more time to spare in the game. Usually it’s the other way around 😂

[halcyon oxide]

Omni man should make DICE think

[silk tundra]

They probably just have internal numbers for how long it should take to reach each level and stuff at the minimum, and the existence of bots screws with those numbers

Remember that EA is driven entirely by numbers and metrics, not satisfaction or fun

[halcyon oxide]

Especially now with the deal

[silk tundra]

Although with that in mind I wonder how the games like It Takes Two or Split Fiction could ever be released

Hmm.
I have a friend in Hazelight, I could just ask.

[slender spear]

Hi ,is there any mod to godot editor for see textures on assets ?i could create much more advanced stuff ,if i clould see textures on assets in godot editor . Right now is very hard to combine things to look nice if i dont know how is gonna look actually in game.

[silk tundra]

I'd imagine that to be a default feature of the editor, maybe you need to fiddle with the viewport settings

[nova flower]

hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right channel but I'm looking for some help with map creation. I'm making a map and stumbled upon an issue with lighting and VFX effects. Can someone help me or at least point me in the right direction?

[lunar iris]

Boat goes binted

[half monolith]

Didn't they say that Phantom Edition owners would receive the Battle Pass as a gift?

[spiral locust]

Just highlighting that Portal Weapons Restriction page is not being kept up to date for new battlepass content I.e. there is no way to restrict the new DMR or Sniper rifle. I've raise a bug report for this if anyone want to support it and give it an up vote.
https://forums.ea.com/idea/battlefield-6-bug-reports-en/portal-weapon-restriction-not-updated-for-new-weapons/12879054

[halcyon oxide]

No no. Only a few tier skips

[light root]

Huh phantom edition should give you bp s1 pro with the 25 tiers skip thats the pro perk

[halcyon oxide]

Yeah, I only remember the 25 tier skips and bf pro

[gentle anchor]

hey for the challenges rerolls i have 5 for the whole season or for the week ?

[odd tartan]

week

[gentle anchor]

ohhh niceee

one last question will i be able to buy the next pass if i complete the current one or i have to get my credit card

[regal loom]

is there a database containing custom logic scripts of basic gameplay rules such as conquest? I want to import them into my server at the "rules editor" step.

[dawn plinth]

Are you in the Battlefield Portal Hub discord? We have a wonderful guy building the entire conquest rules, if you wanna to check out

[regal loom]

No, let me discover it

[dawn plinth]

I'll send ur a DM

[last veldt]

Hi everyone, can anyone explain to me why the game won't launch on PC? It tells me it's closing due to an error on their part. Thanks everyone in advance.😭❤️

[fast grove]

Thats not how rounds work bud.. 😭 This might be satire or something

[plain lintel]

bf6 has huge recoil

[indigo mountain]

Anyone else having trouble with the week 1 challenges not counting as complete? Individually they all show green, but the week 1 tab shows 10/11.

[rose quiver]

Is there a way to disable all weapons attatchments on portal?

[silk tundra]

Not in verified presets

[rose quiver]

So in the custom one, do i need to do some coding shit lol

[fluid tinsel]

❔ ❔ ❔ You joke right?

[rose quiver]

What happened to portal servers? Theres hardly any up

No filters as well

[vapid palm]

anyone having problems with the challange airbust???

[halcyon oxide]

Portal got killed by the lack of xp from bots. No reason to play portal now.

[odd tartan]

And still only two maps for casual breakthrough.

[silk tundra]

For you. I only play on portal now :D

[dense holly]

Strike 5 HARDCORE up Search for "Strike 5" or ZZ222
Already full

[dense holly]

I only play portal, never used a quickplay in a bf game

no sense of comradery

[silk tundra]

Meanwhile if someone wants to come sit in an empty server for an hour, come join me at Sane Defaults (TM)!

Experience code z1far

We got a slow and fun kind of BF4 hardcore ruleset that tries to temper the game's most hectic elements to provide a more relaxed experience.

I'm not as sleepy today so there might be a chance of actually having a full lobby at some point, maybe, possibly

[dense holly]

Okay, Can Anyone explain what liking servers actually does?

I have 310 likes, what does that matter? does it do anything, does it just mean I get a sticker for the day

[silk tundra]

Probably lets the creator know that someone likes it

[dense holly]

it doesnt tell me anything

I have to check on my own

[glossy badge]

Is there any efficient way how to progress faster battle pass?

[fluid tinsel]

Honestly at this point it's just playing the game. do the challenges then I jump onto Casual Breakthrough to rake up bot kills.

If you're away and willing to do so, you can join a portal AFK server to get a trickle of career xp overtime

[dense holly]

ZZ222 Strike 5 hardcore up, 1 server already full second up

[silk tundra]

Oof

So that'll teach me a lesson.
Want people to come and stay in the server? Don't absolutely destroy them

[fading beacon]

Any word on the compensation for getting locked out. I got ZERO.

Also, Incindiary launcher damage isn't counting for challenges. I just killed at least 2 people with the launcher alone, and did much more damage to others, and only got 12/2000.

[timid estuary]

Try the mode TDM seems like not every mode counts when it comes to challenges or weekly’s

[real rock]

Does all modes have bot backfill on official lists? Like domination, team death match?

[lavish ermine]

Is anybody experiencing a bug right now with portal saying that you have to purchase something to get into the server?

[real rock]

I had this yesterday

I think if you click whatever button there it will get you to a settings page

And you need to activate community something

Or other player experiences, don’t remember the option name

For some reason the change they did on the BE messed up this config and you need to reenable

BE as in backend, for the challenge stuff

[opal elm]

for some reason its not the actual effects. of the fire. you have to score a direct impact. its the projectile itself doing damage. and thats what counts towards it/

[finite finch]

Guys check out my recent clip

#screenshots-and-clips message

[mild sentinel]

Finally they bring it back!!

[opal elm]

yeah but no xp so

[mild sentinel]

I’m guessing they’re still working on the XP?

[opal elm]

all i know is they removed

they never stated it would return. i do hope it does

[mild sentinel]

Does this mean I can’t unlock the attachments from the guns while they disable it in the portal?

[opal elm]

yup. you cant unlock or earn anything. No attachemnts. no weapon levels. no vehicle levels. no challenges. all you get is match complete XP.

[mild sentinel]

Fucking hell! They better bring it back

[opal elm]

most of the comunity was livid about it.

[spiral stream]

why they upped the minimum player for rush :(((

it was 8 they upped it to 10 (per team)

[opal elm]

but yeah ive been wanting it back to finish these slogs of challenges.

They advertised and made alot of their marketing with full xp and progression in portal. in the EU you can get a full refund as what they did was illegal under advertising laws.. they changed the product enough that consumer rights kicked in. and that you can get your money back because of it

[odd tartan]

You can do challenges with bots. No weekly or daily etc but most of the others.

[opal elm]

you cant. not since they changed it.

[odd tartan]

I did a lot. Did one with a buddy yesterday.

[opal elm]

that ONLY works if you have other humans in the lobby.

which one if you dont mind me asking?

[odd tartan]

The 200m sniper

[opal elm]

on squids PSR farm? or

[odd tartan]

Also did the laser designation. No i have one i made and haven't changed since the nerf.

[opal elm]

hmmmmm

okkkk ill give it a go. i wanna get that TDM and Rush ones done

[odd tartan]

Ive only done them in breakthrough and conquest so can't say if those work but def try. Especially now backfill is back.

[opal elm]

ill hop on now and let you know

[halcyon oxide]

Rush challenges do work in bot lobbies

[opal elm]

any one you recomend?

[halcyon oxide]

Most if not all rush challenges can be done by just doing solo rush xp runs

[halcyon oxide]

It is winning, getting sectors and deploying bombs mostly. I can give you a portal code, if you want

[opal elm]

please. that would be grand

[thorn elk]

with bots on i see everything is ok, but not stats...

thats just stupid

noone cares about ppl with 200 kd ratio...

[opal elm]

Matthias?

[thorn elk]

also my server gets only 13/64. 20 players required.

in conquest

[old karma]

I'm lost what you mean?

[thorn elk]

bots backfill option is back

[halcyon oxide]

My bad. YT4YS

[old karma]

Bots is back now?

[halcyon oxide]

Bots is back?

[old karma]

Are you saying we can solo bots now with full xp?

[thorn elk]

no

In conquest You need 7 players to start a match

they gave all xp, unlocks etc. but not affect stats

You can checkl this code to see: z4n5h

currently running one server

[old karma]

Bots dont count towards stats at all if that what youre implying

[tacit agate]

I saw that right now. My rush server starts with 12 bots but needs 20 people, so now I'm stuck at the menu waiting for people to join lol

[thorn elk]

yup, so it's even worse than previously

they have no idea what they are doing

[old karma]

Wait so before we were able to start the game w/ 1 player

Now you required 7 or more to start the match?

[thorn elk]

yes

but without bots so you were alone

[tacit agate]

Yep, and that's if you add in the bots. No bots = instant start

[old karma]

Oh sounds like maybe devs are fixing the bots farmers and putting bots back in portal for full xp

it might be a good news...

[thorn elk]

we will see. i have a hope that this is not the end of changes

will wait for official info, but as history showed us: they have no ieda how portal works, and how it should work

[old karma]

I'm just more surprised they're tweaking on live instead on doing dev test game or something

[thorn elk]

<first time meme> 🙂

[old karma]

Why do it on live services while messing up our gameplay if they're tweaking without any some sort of news or so.

I've been going back to play Battlefield 2 man that game is the real goat

[halcyon oxide]

Just make portal progression like in 2042...

[opal elm]

Got any TDM oneS?

[halcyon oxide]

Nope.

[thorn elk]

in 2042 you had some restrictions to exp etc. per hour, rightr?

[old karma]

Guys!! I’m getting weapon xp in a bot only match right now

Confirmed! Full xp!

[prime crag]

It’s almost about 30 exp in portal bots (less than 30 bc I got some bonus

[odd tartan]

Any xp is good to help populate peoples servers.

[jade quarry]

we need a "Verified Community Recreations" featured list.

[old karma]

Agreed... I don't care about bots low xp but as long we get challenges, weapon mastery and unlocks.

YQPV7

give it a try - conquest full bots

[thorn elk]

in cq You need 8 real players to start a match with bots now

[old karma]

I'm playing solo with bots, its working.

[odd tartan]

I'm hoping the older pre nerf ones will start with one person.

[thorn elk]

probably some old servers without xp?

[odd tartan]

I think bots will give xp etc regardless.

Cant test it myself until tomorrow.

[old karma]

we're gonna hear news from devs tonight or tomorrow.

these bots are much harder than casual breakthrough ones the way I notice

[thorn elk]

good. but imho on those servers player kills etc. should count into kd and other stats. bots kills - no. it shouldn't be hard to do

[old karma]

Battlefield stats doesn't matter these days

[thorn elk]

yes, but i like checking my stats

[old karma]

theres people who can have 60 kdr or something

your not gonna get anything from bots

bots dont count toward the stats

[thorn elk]

they do

in prevoius versions - now, we will see. the "stats" is greyed so now they shouldnt

this is how it looks liek now: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1oqa5og/comment/nnhe50t/?context=3

[odd tartan]

My kd is still screwed from being in a tank against bots in the first week.

[old karma]

yeah my kdr is fuuucked since week 1 thats why I put my profile hidden lol

[odd tartan]

I've been getting 50-1 in casual breakthrough so I hope bots don't count going forward. Wish there was a reset button.

[thorn elk]

on tracker.gg you can check overall kd, and kd agains players

[errant quartz]

Ok, my rush game mode from day 1 now gives EXP with bot backfill too

[old karma]

We're back boys!

[odd tartan]

Nice. I have a few games from week one.

[old karma]

Portal is offical alive now!!

[errant quartz]

Now it’s just getting a server

[odd tartan]

It's wonderful how well Dice have communicated with us today about this.........

[errant quartz]

You didn’t get the postal pigeon?

[odd tartan]

Fingers crossed xp etc is allowed in the truely community created maps.

They can't seem to fix the drone elevator. Always a drone/mav exploit. Everytime lol

[old karma]

these bots getting smarter or what? They're much harder now... I love it!

1 shot me from bot's AA while I was in heli!

[carmine talon]

look i get people is free to do with their privacy. But i can assure you " hidden profiles" are more likely get reported. If you are putting your profile hidden just cause of not getting reported due to "Stats" , it ain't the solution.

[carmine talon]

They've said, AI-Bots are using adaptive-deep learning technology , which mimicking real player input-pattern-pathfinding. So we are all contributing AI development by playing . We are not just getting paid though lol

[odd tartan]

I've def noticed that i assume a bot is human because of their behaviour until i kill them and it says bot.

[carmine talon]

Yeah, first week they were meh, now you can see they are evolving, started to flank and spread out more.

[odd tartan]

I had one go out of bounds and flank me.

[carmine talon]

well here you got , player movement there lol

[errant quartz]

Hopefully they fix the server cap issue, been trying to host for 20 minutes so far

[thorn elk]

what server Treehugger? cq?

[crisp dragon]

Shoot I been R&Ding our server all day. Weird yours isnt working.

[errant quartz]

Rush atm

Just testing bot backfill to see todays changes for rush

[carmine talon]

Are you keep spamming the host fast enough?

[crisp dragon]

They still making you have 8 players to start it?

[errant quartz]

I’m spamming it as fast as Xbox can

[errant quartz]

It was 1 player during the no exp bot backfill, now exp is back I need to find out

[odd tartan]

Look for older bot servers from before the nerf. Bfportal dot gg or something like that has some.

[errant quartz]

Mine is day 1

xp5b

[crisp dragon]

Did you try hard resetting the Xbox? Ive got a day one RUSH too

[errant quartz]

I doubt hard reset would solve hosting? Surely it’s a server capacity issue

[crisp dragon]

Try mine but there's no bots. xcra is my code.

[errant quartz]

But I want to test bots

[crisp dragon]

It may reset the connection for yourself. Mine was acting funky last night and I had too.

[carmine talon]

You've said "Rush" right?

[errant quartz]

Yeah it’s rush

[crisp dragon]

I was just saying to see if it works

[carmine talon]

Rush servers are harder to host due to "XP FARM" were using Rush servers. I had problems on PC too especially peak hours.

Try Some other mode real quick, see what happens

[errant quartz]

My conquest was one click… I was there for 30 minutes trying rush

I probably have carpal tunnel now mashing A on my Xbox controller

[carmine talon]

Yea must be the anti-XP farm, capacity limited for Rush.

[errant quartz]

That’s a shame, we run a legit community

[carmine talon]

Non-peak hours maybe you got more lucky with Rush.

[errant quartz]

I’ll give it another go later then, hopefully they fixed the issue where if all players leave it has to be spammed to rejoin as player 1

[odd tartan]

Might be a short term thing to work on the xp farms while they give us progression

Backfil and bot xp is back so a win for now.

Watch the pvp purists cry loudly

[sly lagoon]

hello do u have a tips to destroy those 15 fucking air vehicle please

[carmine talon]

probably, am sure with season 2 things will get much better . There are improvements right now as clearly they do try managing 3 main feature Redsec -Official -Portal.

[naive saddle]

Is back?

[odd tartan]

Yes.

[naive saddle]

On portal?

[odd tartan]

Yes

[naive saddle]

Oh interesting. Has there been a statement from them on this?

[odd tartan]

Of course not! Just the players testing and chatting in here.

[sly lagoon]

can we farm task ?

[odd tartan]

Same progression as the casual mode by all acounts.

[crisp dragon]

I have noticed the XP is still full with Backfill. You have to have 8 minimum players to start a bot lobbie

[crisp dragon]

On Conquest.

[odd tartan]

Newer lobbies yes but ones from week 1 only need 1 person to start I believe

[crisp dragon]

I edited mine yesterday to check for more switches to things and Im SOL on that one then.

[odd tartan]

So anything that is older than today will prob be fine.

[crisp dragon]

No, I haven't tried it because my guys arnt on atm. We run 3 nights a week on it with no bots.

[old karma]

YQPV7 - Full bots lobby with XP working.

[crisp dragon]

My guys kept bitching about the bots. We come from a breed that doesn't like them.

[carmine talon]

Btw , You'll get FullXP , but it will be not same as killing player. Player kills = More XP , Bot kills = Less XP. It's like Casual BT settings.

[odd axle]

100 bots = 1 human XP

[crisp dragon]

Casual RUSH😂😂😂 WTF, kind of a double standard there.

[carmine talon]

Yeah well this is as far as they go with 🙂

at least you are not completely locked out of progression.

[prime crag]

NOPE, In portal it just almost 30 weapons exp or less( just tested but I got some exp bonus

[sly lagoon]

goat i love u

[carmine talon]

Have you tried the Weapon progression? How is the reduction there?

[thorn elk]

there is official new

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1oqc04u/bfcomms_reintroducing_bots_to_verified_experiences/

So still we can not play solo on portal with bots

they are completly out of touch with portal

[opal elm]

Or i dunno...just give us what you advertised..

[misty bluff]

hopefully they give us training maps finally for bots

[crisp dragon]

[BFComms] Reintroducing Bots to Verified Experiences

As mentioned in our “Update on Community Servers and Portal Experiences” post, we temporarily removed bots from Verified Experiences to support healthier matchmaking. Bots have now returned to Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Here’s what to expect with this option in Verified Community Experiences:

• Each game mode now supports up to 12 bots.
• If bot backfill is enabled, matches require 8 players to start, and there will be up to 6 bots on each team.
• If bot backfill is disabled, matches require 20 players to start.
• Bots grant reduced XP, while player XP remains at 100% (similar values to Multiplayer modes).
• If bots are enabled, player stats will not see gains (or losses) such as hours played, kill/death ratio, and total revives.
  This is not currently working as intended and is actively being adjusted.
• Challenges remain completable.
  Just added 3 min ago

[opal elm]

Dude for real.

[prime crag]

What I just tested is weapon exp

[opal elm]

just give us OG Portal from launch...is it really that hard...first they removei t. now they added like 50% of it back.

[woven sinew]

NO BOTS.
This is suppose to be a player vs PLAYER game.

[carmine talon]

Yeah just seen the edit, cheers lol

[boreal jolt]

We used to put people like you in asylums..

[opal elm]

i see the apeal of no bots in actual modes.

But when its a portal mode. bots make things interesting.

[crisp dragon]

Right! Weird timing. 😆

[boreal jolt]

It sucks we wont have vs just bots

[woven sinew]

Yea no.
Competition play is human vs human.
Fighting AI is the same as player vs environment. This BF is not.

[naive saddle]

What is the issue if there are now bots? Can someone explain, I'm confused.

[upper scarab]

"If bot backfill is enabled, matches require 8 players to start, and there will be up to 6 bots on each team"
And how long will people have to wait for 7 other players?

[crisp dragon]

No he just wants to play against real players. I can get that from older BF titles. Bots wasnt the solution to fill servers and its lazy on the matchmaking aspect.

[opal elm]

they are flip flopping with how they want to do things and its tiring.

First removing bots from portal saying it wasnt intended. now they added them back in with conditions that are anoying.

[thorn elk]

7h

[opal elm]

they are heros for that.

[odd axle]

8 players to start? Good luck with that... 😆

[crisp dragon]

It fucking sucks, trust me...

[naive saddle]

They just don't want ppl to abuse xp farming.

[wind kiln]

wait can they complete the weekly challenges

[thorn elk]

if no bots You need 20 players

[upper scarab]

XP farming happens because there is an XP grind. It is a self inflicted problem

[crisp dragon]

So stupid.

[odd axle]

So looks like portal will stay dead.. 🪦

[opal elm]

There was no Rules or guidlines reguarding portal. So they made them as they went along.

A good way to solve the XP issue is just bring back rent-a-server you gotta pay like 5 bucks to have a portal server slot. boom. done.

Man rent-a-server from bf3 was peak lol. 90hz 1200 tickets, no shotguns operation metro hahahaha

[crisp dragon]

That is the only real solution. I was praying they were going to be pay for servers on this one!

[upper scarab]

back then the matchmaking was distributing players into servers

[naive saddle]

I would love for those rent servers with higher tick rate

[opal elm]

so put a password on it. Boom. its a portal server you rented. so pop a password on that bad boy.

[wind kiln]

wait can bot lobbies allow for point gain on weekly challenges

[high wigeon]

war game actually 🤓 robots will be added to warfare soon

[upper scarab]

I was talking about how it is hard to get enough players

[crisp dragon]

Put the password in the description

[opal elm]

well yeah but what im saying is Bring back launch portal. without that 8 player requirment stuff. but then make it rent a server. so you gotta pay a little to use portal. would curb a bunch of server slot issues.

[carmine talon]

This actually is better solution. But not sure they can handle that well. Also not sure how big portal population is.

[upper scarab]

My ideal type of server would be a server with default rules, a popular server rotation or even a single map +backfill bots to start the server

[cobalt steppe]

Bots shouldn't even be in the game. They should have just went with persistent servers. I would have paid a few dollars a month to have my own server. Portal is ruined by XP farms.

[old karma]

Thats what my server is doing right now.. YQPV7

[fluid tinsel]

12 bots? Ok that's another 12 negative reviews. so tone deaf

[old karma]

can confirm its not 12 bots lol

[crisp dragon]

Here's your solution y1zq1

[boreal jolt]

Did they fuck up or something?

[crisp dragon]

Did it in OCT

[naive saddle]

Did someone test if you use the verified original dice experience, will server fully botfill and full xp progression?

[carmine talon]

Bots should be there for backfill , servers won't get populated that easily. We are not in old times- golden era of communities -clans nor a social players mindset that wants to communicate or building bond with one another. They just can adjust bot XP - like they did and let servers start and have an adaptive seeding.

[prime crag]

They can fix it easier just allow unlock attachments in local host, but they just won’t listen from us

[boreal jolt]

Okay but hot take: who gives a shit about people getting xp?? Its a digital "you did good" star

[thorn elk]

noone

[boreal jolt]

Ohhhhh wait
Selling XP boosters

Because the battlepass

[naive saddle]

Of course. It's a business

[jade quarry]

yo, guys!

[upper scarab]

shortcuts too

[jade quarry]

bots are back to Portal!

[lofty cradle]

is anyone else rubberbanding in portal servers ?

[jade quarry]

in an improved way!

[carmine talon]

Boosting is a money maker scheme in almost most games now and both companies and third party exploiting it very aggressively.

[boreal jolt]

Chat did anyone else not receive their unlocked items

Or is it just me

[upper scarab]

My other issue with weapon mastery is how it seems even in both easy weapons and hard ones that have less kills per round

[thorn elk]

it's time to shoot down those whole portal experiment, give players tools and option to host community servers.

[fluid tinsel]

It’s really isn’t, it’s still bad

[naive saddle]

@fluid tinsel they should work on progression and portal experience. But they don't want people to cheese xp

[boreal jolt]

CHAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL GTA 6 WAS DELAYED AGAIN TURN ON THE NEWS, ANY CHANNEL

[carmine talon]

got mine all in game mail. Gotta claim

[meager gulch]

PVE still dead lol. By the time they add local play all PVErs will ahve forgotten about this game and moved on.

[naive saddle]

@meager gulch why not play other pve games or campaign again?

You can play local too

[thorn elk]

not only pve

[meager gulch]

roflll

pLaY The CamPaIgN aGAiN

[boreal jolt]

The campaign was so great, blew BF4 out of the water

[meager gulch]

no one is going to play the campaign over again every day. just stop guys lolool

[fluid tinsel]

Give them reduced xp it’s not rocket science

[naive saddle]

It's already reduced

[meager gulch]

sweats are already farming bots in casual breakthru to farm wep xp and challenges. there is zero reason not to bring back full pve other than them being too cheap to spin up more servers and too dumb to not include local/co-op like 2042

[thorn elk]

just make reduced xp from bots, full from players and restrictions like max xp per hour

also in custom mode dlete completion bonus to get rid of afk farms

solved

[carmine talon]

Haven't played at all tbh. I've watched trailers and said to myself "WTF is this BS story". Reminded me COD Ghost mix. I like real world stuff Like Medal of Honor - and MH: Warfighter Campaign. Mother and Rabbit ...Epic moments and real touch . Liked the BF3 campaign though.

[thorn elk]

now we will have afk farms 32/32 players instead of 1/32 player

[meager gulch]

first mission and maybe 1 other were good. rest was bad. you could tell they rushed the hell out of it. could have been decent if they had more than a year to make it.

[old karma]

Why are you complaining? Maybe most of us just want to enjoy full pve experiences with verfied modes just not against sweaty or even cheaters.

[thorn elk]

im talking about afk farms, not about pve players

[carmine talon]

Yeah fair enough , i might complete it for the skins and dogtags. But meh dunno lol

[meager gulch]

we are screwed. its not happening and if it does it wont be for months when they finally decide to reintroduce solo/co-op

[old karma]

I agreed theres a reason why it should only be on verfied modes not custom modify bots or maps etc

[lyric aurora]

Is portal fixed yet?

[thorn elk]

it's even worse brother

[meager gulch]

for custom map makers, maybe. not for PVERs

[old karma]

I'm playing against bots on 64 conquest no issues.

[meager gulch]

in portal? with wep xp?

[old karma]

Yes Tesla... YQPV7

full xp but bots has half xp though just like BT/Casual

[meager gulch]

you sure there arnt any other real players in the game besides you?

[odd tartan]

Week 1 pre nerf games seem to be fine with 1 player needed to start.

[old karma]

Funny thing is that those bots don't show [BOT] on their name tag anymore it looks like realistic player names

[meager gulch]

do any of them have the pc or controler symbol next to their names

[odd axle]

EA - "portal bots are back but u need 8 humans to start and you only get 6 bots"...
Trolling level = 1000%

[old karma]

only 4 because my host is public.

[thorn elk]

even better. server without bots requires 20 players

[odd axle]

there's not even 20 players total on portal... lol

Who is making these bad decisions?

[thorn elk]

satan

[old karma]

What do you mean not even 20 players total?

[odd axle]

You would be lucky to get 5 players after hosting for a couple hours

[somber dirge]

because they are pushing failed cod clone 2.0 how stupid do these guys have to be redev the old maps that are fan favs leave us to play bot games with full xp if the game is using hardcore or stdard damage levels no one shot bot lobbies ... literally easy to listen tot he very people whos money you want from them

ass hats all of them

[analog hatch]

So the entire purpose of bot backfill, is to seed servers make them active so players can jump in and replace the bots place
you still need 8 players to start, this is isn't a fix, this is nothing

[somber dirge]

I cant even start my own bot backfill game to then see who joins and if no one who cares im having a laugh i have to wait for 20 peeps now eh

[odd axle]

Clearly they want everyone playing on official servers instead of portal to fill them up...

[somber dirge]

yeah with sweaty brain dead twitch kids from cod

no thanks they bore me with there fortnite style of game play

[thorn elk]

yes, playing the same map 3 times in a row is great experience. also connecting you to map that You dont like

[analog hatch]

After the two whole weeks of "testing"
This is the solution they found?
This isn't a solution it still doesn't work, no one is going to join a server with 1 person and 12 bots sitting in a loading screen for 3 hours

[somber dirge]

i have 13 peeps and bot backfill wont allow it to start

ea are more brain dead than the sucker who made this game THINKING its Battlefield i guess its the persons fault who hired a cod dev to build a BF game

[thorn elk]

the funny thing, is that afk farms will still be running

[odd axle]

How does EA NOT know that people DON'T wanna wait for servers to fill? 😕

[thorn elk]

this is another change that is hurting only us - legit players that just want to play in portal. some want to play pve, some want to play on community server.

[analog hatch]

Majority of people just farm bots on official modes now anyway

[somber dirge]

they want COD CASH they have always sniffed the rectum of cod YET they are to blind to see THEY MADE the better game always have done

What happens when suits get involved that know nothing they should of left the original devs to have operational control to build us what BF should of been

[analog hatch]

They don't care, this was intentional, i believe they did this just so they could say they returned bot backfill while stopping people from using bots in portal

[somber dirge]

I wished i could of refunded this BF is dead as us OGs knew it and this excuse of lies if what well get as they kill cod now BF is next luckily there are newer games that may take its place arma ref with time may fill the large battles etc but more milsim

[odd axle]

Back to 2042 for bots then?

[thorn elk]

then they will take their data and say: you see! most ppl play matchmaking instead of portal

[carmine talon]

SQUAD is between BF-ARMA.

[somber dirge]

the only thing they unserstand ive revenue mass boycott and file for refund i may tap up paypal as thats who i paid via and get my £90 back

bait and switch

[thorn elk]

there is also HLL, even closer to bf than sqad. but its ww2

[somber dirge]

yeah BF should be scared and had a chance to jump ontop again

but nah short sighted old men run this company 55bil ha lets see how they fair against loss of player base and 100m players lmao

beyond annoyed as BF since early pc 1942 was my jam

[carmine talon]

Portal supposed to bring back the Golden Days of Mod Community from BF2 days but it's way too centralized and controlled.

[somber dirge]

literally only had to redev bf3 and 4 maps and release them wallah cash machine to make loads

[analog hatch]

This will be their official fix and they'll ignore any complaints about it and wash their hands of it, this is all we get

[errant quartz]

So apparently you’re only supposed to have 6 bots on each team, but mine has 48 bots?

It’s also supposed to require 8 players to start but mine starts solo and gets exp

[odd axle]

The North Korea of gaming?

[thorn elk]

what kind of sorcery is that?

you started conquest, or some custom mode?

[odd axle]

Instead of Portal they should of called it "Wall" cuz it keeps people out...

[errant quartz]

It’s a day 1 game I made that I’ve never updated

[thorn elk]

oh, that may be it... i will check mine

[errant quartz]

It seems to have activated the exp but kept all the other settings

[thorn elk]

i should have some old templates

[errant quartz]

If you update them at all they may revert to the new settings

[thorn elk]

i will not touch them

[old karma]

can confirm I have 64 bots here on my game

[carmine talon]

? Verified?

[old karma]

Yes it is verfied game mode

[carmine talon]

So Conquest works but not the HC Conquest or Modified ones?

[tacit agate]

Does anyone want to play on a server though? I'm not too sure how much people want to play together on Portal.

[carmine talon]

obviously people want to play against bots, won't want it. But maybe they want some coop experience in Squad size.

[analog hatch]

How long do i need to sit in a portal servers loading screen as one player with 12 bots for the server to actually start?

[tacit agate]

Personally I've waited at least 2 hours, just for 3 people to join and immediately leave lol

[carmine talon]

Others including me, i want HC and modified mods that community can host-play , does not matter vs players but bot backfill should be there so server can actually populate. Also XP should work, else people won't join.

I had no issue first week, my server was always full then they hit portal and boom .

[analog hatch]

Bet i can beat that, whoever makes it to 24 hours without the server starting wins

[somber dirge]

so my server is varif and no changes but backfill says i need 20 peeps LMAO

so there is no way to boot a simple server up i can jump into with my friends unless i have 20 friends online

[old karma]

Sounds like a bug

[tacit agate]

That would be so soul crushing. 😭

[old karma]

Because im having no issue here..

[somber dirge]

hmm ok lets he delelte and try again

[thorn elk]

dont delete, you will need 20 players to start without bots
